Well, at 2:30 am this morning I finished the body except for the front splitter and side cf add ons. Went to snap a few quick pictures and threw the belt(BROKE!) and the car also is hitting a wall at 4900 rpm on boost or not 
but paint is 95%(small things like decals, touch ups, emblems and front splitter to install). But, will be driving it some this week!
I WILL get it straight though!!! Ideas on belt? Imma check alignment and SC shaft play first.....
Hoping the 4900 RPM wall is timing related.... Its 15 everywhere right now.
Anyone, for everyone waiting....

I agree, it looks great! I bought a new Z28 back in '82, broke in the engine and put a Comp 268 camshaft in it, Performer intake, non computerized Quadrajet and Cyclone headers. I've always had a fondness for the 3rd gens, and yours looks awesome. Bob

Overall it made 661rwhp at 4900 and 719 rwtq at the same RPM(4900) on the Mustang dyno. If you use 12% to convert the Mustang to the dynojet its about 740rwhp/805 rwtq, but those are only guesstimates. The first ones are the only hard numbers I have. Its like it's hitting a brick wall at 4900. On the last pull you can hear it sounds like a rev-limiter. I know TPI is no high RPM motor, but it should pull more than that. Looking into it now...
Other than that i am not a fan of third gens but this thing is sick man... Congrats

Sorry for the lack of updates! I have gotten a few more things done, the body is 99% done(emblems and paint touch ups left) and have been working on bracing the Supercharger. It's not quite as firmly mounted as I would like, so we are working for solutions on that. Then I have to get the tune worked on some more and paint touch-ups from dentfix. Hope to do a 9" and custom gauges over the winter....
Anyway, here are some pictures of recent activity!
